The four books share the same sculpt as the ones included in the Takanashi Koyomi kit, with only the cover colors changed.

Clean sculpting on the desk and chair

The drawer can also be opened and closed with a sliding mechanism.

The inside of the classical lamp even has a fluorescent bulb sculpted in.

Includes one newly sculpted face, plus a blank face + waterslide decal combo.

This kit is the After School Retro Desk, released as part of Kotobukiya's Sōsai Shōjo Teien series. It's an accessory kit for the Takanashi Koyomi that was released alongside it, following the same concept as the previous Cafe Table. It comes with one set of a retro-style desk and chair, along with a classical lamp and books as accessories.

Among these, the four books — large and small, in open and closed forms — share the same sculpt as those included in the Takanashi Koyomi kit, with only the covers changed to a deep green. The sculpting on the retro desk and chair came out quite clean and neat, and the drawer can be opened and closed with a sliding mechanism. Just like the Cafe Table, it also includes one newly sculpted face and a blank face + waterslide decal combo.

As you can see from the review photos above, it's a lot of fun putting together all kinds of entertaining scenes with Takanashi Koyomi, and as an accessory kit it delivers a clean, quality result. If you're a fan of the Sōsai Shōjo Teien series, there's really no reason not to pick this up (?) — it's a fun little item. :-)
